POETRY ON RECORD
Today on HearSay - a rare opportunity to hear the voices of poets past and present, from Walt Whitman and William Butler Yeats to Amiri Baraka and Sylvia Plath. We talk with Rebekah Presson Moseby, editor and producer of the CD compilation Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006) and Michael Khandelwal, creative writing instructor at The Muse, a writing studio and workshop, about the magic of hearing these beloved poets and what it reveals about their work.

WHEN MADNESS STRIKES
People with mental illnesses and their families often fight not only the stigma attached to mental illness, but also the net of the criminal justice system or the bureaucratic maze of community resources. Today on HearSay, we consider a national model for law enforcement in the treatment and handling of the mentally ill. We take a look at the resources available here in Hampton Roads. And we speak with the author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness, who chronicled his findings and experiences with his bipolar son.

THE GANGS OF HAMPTON ROADS
Gang activity is becoming increasingly visible throughout Hampton Roads. On the Peninsula, city administrators are implementing some innovative programs to make sure the problem doesn't escalate. Today, we bring you a special broadcast from a Newport News town hall meeting where citizens came together to hear from law enforcement and city leaders about the extent of the problem and to learn about a program in Hampton that's making a difference.
